Words of Thanks: May 2

I went to Elizabeth House on March 27. I had excruciating pain for weeks; several treatments had been prescribed, none of which had worked, and the pain was from colon, kidney and liver cancer.

I really thought I was going to die. Carol, the hospice nurse, was sending me to hospice for symptomatic treatment. When I first got there, the pain was so bad I prayed for the Lord to take me. By March 29, they were controlling the pain, and I was able to eat for the first time in four weeks.

A lot of people work and volunteer at hospice; all of them are very competent, caring and compassionate. Two weeks later, I returned to my home, with a hospital bed, bed tray, a very nice walker, a companion chair for going out to dinner, etc., and also an air mattress for the pressure sores!

I thank God and everyone from Four Seasons' Elizabeth House. Dr. Jennifer Havendon and RN Carol McTique, who has been there for me in every way, thank you for making my days so peaceful and joyful.

I play a digital piano. Twenty years ago, I acquired an MIDI sequencer which, when connected to my piano, enabled me to record on disc anything I could play.

Recently, my "Disc Composer" died. Given its age, I had little hope of getting it fixed, but phoned Tempo Music. Turns out they have an excellent electronics repairman, who FIXED my Disc Composer!

I never expected that I would be able to play the duets, trios and quartets of Mozart and Beethoven again! It only took two trips downtown and I'm sure glad that we have such talent in Hendersonville!
